Chronic Pain

Hello everyone, my name is Sylvia. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue syndrome and back problems because of Arthritis. I already had a surgery on my back. I gave up drinking 17 years ago due to poor health. It’s the best thing I ever did for my sanity.

I used to blame myself for having Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain and not being able to do things like everyone else. I figured there must have been something I had done in my past to cause it.

My story, I believe, starts when I was in my early 30's and I started feeling weakness in my lower extremities to the point that I lost control of my bladder and bowel movements, and I couldn't feel my body from my waist down.

I have both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as Ulcerative Colitis and Asthma. Despite all of that at 63 I have a wonderfully full and busy life, But I do everything in pain.

recently found out that there might be a new solution for my back/neck pain! It's a medical procedure where they implant an electrical device in your back. I've heard of it referred to being similar to a pacemaker-for pain! You have to go back every couple of years to have it replaced (you can Google this).
